Artists throughout time have challenged the definition of the word "beautiful," what the word represents to society, and how we each use our own definition as a means to measure the merits of the world around us. Lisa Prichard Wiscombe uses an unusual medium to confront the classic idea of beauty as rationalization and qualification of the unknown. She states,

"My work draws on this generalization to facilitate the display of otherwise secret domains by disguising them in forms ranging from a colony of sea creatures to plants, bacteria, or weapons, and from the macrocosmic to the microcosmic. Applying these secrets to the banal objects of a domestic environment serves as much to decorate interior spaces as to charge the objects with impressions drawn from the mind's private corners and intimate scenarios that take place behind closed doors."

These typically controversial images are abandoned as a signifier to represent pornography and replicated to the point where their original form can no longer be referenced for meaning, creating a hyperreal form and challenging the audience to use this new beauty to qualify the world--and possibly the house--in which they live.
